Your patches are almost entirely baseless. You haven't even made an effort to show a real case, in detail, where your patches actually fix a bug. The CMSG case shows that you didn't even bother to look at the assembly of even one architecture to see if padding bytes even existed in the structure, and that furthermore even if they existed that they would leak out ever. I don't even buy the "preventative nature" argument for the address[128] thing. If a protocol is leaking kernel memory in that case, it also isn't filling in the address value properly, which is a bug times two. I absolutely am not applying these patches, sorry. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-janitors" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
